The purpose of this study has been to investigate how deviant behavior can be affected by animal-assisted interventions and how these can be expanded further to crime preventative purposes in the future. This was investigated through a qualitative method, semi-structured interviews. Six females who all worked within operations that used animal based interventions were interviewed. The statements were interpreted and analyzed through the theory of social bonds and earlier research within the field. The females experienced that animal based interventions had a good influence on the deviant behavior of the participants of these interventions and that there are good opportunities for future development within crime prevention. The subject has a limited amount of research in Sweden in regards to its crime preventative properties and therefore it is common for decision makers to prefer other methods.
